Hi, I Was Banded 15th Nov And Am On The Sloppy Part Of The Diet After Being On liquids For 2 Weeks, But Find That I Dont Have Any Restriction, It Just Goes Straight Down. I'm Booked To Have My 1st Fill 13th January, But Am Wondering If I Should Have It Done Sooner? Or Should I Wait Till I'm On More Solid Foods? Can Any One Help.

Thanks Debz.

Hi Debz,

It may be worth your calling your surgeon. I'm a bit hazy on the rules of first fill. It's been just over a year since mine. It also depends if the surgeon gave you a small fill during the operation. I know some do and some don't.

You have to give your body a chance to adjust to the new member of your working body. But, there is no harm in finding out what you need to do.

Sorry I can't be much help for you but I do hope that it all works out for you.

Kind regards

Suzy

hi, I had my fill in October with WGA and then had my first fill three weeks later. I'm glad mine was earlier than later as it would of been so easy for me to slip back to old habits. Good luck

My band was fitted in September and I should have had my 1st fill last Monday the 17th but unfortunately the port has flipped and will have to wait until I have a Xray in the New Year and after that get a fill. I have no restriction and feel the op has been a waste of time. The Consultant says I should look at as a 2 year plan but I just feel I have already lost 4 months.

Please don't get down hearted I know you build yourself up to be banded and then feel like nothing had happened. Even though I've had my first fill the restriction now is not enough and I seem stuck at the same weight. And I know people mean well but the constant asking "how much have you lost this week" and the trying to explain you have no restriction can get you down. But you've got to remember this is going to change your whole life so hey four months isn't alot. We'll all still be here when you have your next stage of problems. So chill have a great Christmas xx

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
